Antlions are a family of insects in the order Neuroptera, classified as Myrmeleontidae, from the Greek "myrmex", meaning "ant", and "leon", meaning "lion".
Antlions are easily distinguished from damselflies by their longer, prominent, apically clubbed antennae and different pattern of wing venation.
The antlion larva is a ferocious-appearing creature with a robust, fusiform body bearing three pairs of walking legs and a prothorax forming a slender mobile neck for the large square head, which bears an enormous pair of sicklelike jaws (mandibles) with several sharp, hollow projections.

A large proportion of the antlion larval diet consists of ants, not because of any clear specialization or preference, but because ants are relatively abundant in the dry areas where antlions are found (Topoff 1977).
Because antlion larvae sometimes move their pits as often as every 5 d in the few quantitative studies of their behavior in the field (Wilson 1974, Griffiths 1980b, Heinrich and Heinrich 1984, Linton 1995), we supposed that 3 d might provide a conservative estimate of the minimal time needed to evaluate a pit location.
